Confused

Hey sorry im not very good at all this and im getting confusd as to why i cant get php to work on my system.

So Far:

I have installed an apache 2.2 server (seems to be working ok)
I have installed PHP 5 onto my system
I have installed Mysql
i have installed phpmyadmin


i've been through the documentation files and they kinda dont really make sence to me, hense why im asking for help.

i installed PHP, Apache and MYSQL into my program files folder with the insallers which come with them. I installed phpmyadmin into the htdocs folder in apache (as i beleive i was told to do)

When i try to open any file from within the htdocs folder they load my web browser but it goes straight to asking me if i want to download the file.

The PHP website said to insert :-

LoadModule php5_module "c:/program files/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

into the htdocs.config file in the apache folder which i did and restarted the server.

It probably something really silly that im not doing but i really can not figure it out.

its even more annoying considering i managed to do this about 4 years ago and get it to work on a different computer so any help would be much appreciated if you need to know more info im more then happy to provide it to you ust ask.

Cheers Mark

I would start by removing all three... and go through this tut step by step... It is pretty straight forward and should get you working.

Everytime I install a WAMP server I use:

It seems to be pretty well explained.
